This week we admire Nicollet County. This county is named after Joseph Nicolas Nicollet (1786–1843), early explorer and cartographer of the Upper Mississippi River. We suggest you read a book about explorations or adventures.

We give you links to each of these books on our show notes page, taking you to Amazon.com. If you click on any of them, and buy anything at all - including a nice book - Amazon will send us a small percent of the profits they made on these sales. Thank you for supporting CMLE!
